“The Elliot Norton Awards are presented annually by the Boston Theater Critics Association to honor the outstanding productions, directors, choreographers, designers, and performers whose work audiences have seen on Greater Boston stages throughout the season. 

The Elliot Norton Awards are named for the eminent Boston theater critic Elliot Norton, who remained an active supporter of drama, both locally and nationally, until his death in 2003 at the age of 100. The greater Boston theater community carries on that legacy, proud of its relentless commitment to the arts, more crucial now in the public forum than ever before.

The awards ceremony will be held on Monday, June 2, 2025, at 7 PM, at The Huntington Theatre in Boston. “
